To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERBERT H. Ion, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Augusta, in the county of Butler and State ofliansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pumping-Power, of which the following is a specification, reference being hadtherein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to a power mechanism particularly adapted foroperating oil wells and other pumps and has for its object theimprovement of the construction of the hub of a band wheel power havingseveral motions, as compared to the ordinary power having a singlemotion.

Another object of this invention is the provision of a simple andefficient trammel disk whereby the reciprocating rod may be effectuallyoperated through the rotation of the band wheel.

The present invention is an improvement upon my previous patent bearingNumber 859,451 issued July 9, 1907.

Other objects and advantages of the present invention will appearthroughout the following specification and claims.

By referring to the drawings it will be seen that 1 designates the basewhich may be of any suitable or convenient structure or constructed outof any suitable or convenient material and by carefully considering Fig.2 it will be seen that a base plate 2 is mounted upon the base 1 and isprovided with a depending cup portion 3 which is embedded within thebase 1. Suitable anchoring rods 4 are also employed and are embeddedwithin the base 1 and engage the radiating ribs 5 of the base plate 2 asillustrated clearly in Figs. 4 and 5 of the drawings. The base 1 isprovided with an upwardly extending standard 6 over which standard fitsthe supporting shaft or pintle 7. This supporting shaft or pintle 7 isprovided with a threaded upper end 8 over which threaded upper end 8fits a bearing collar 9. This bearing collar 9 is provided with a pocketportion 10 upon the underface thereof to constitute an oil receptacle orreservoir for freely lubricating the bearing portions of the apparatus.This bearing collar 9 has its side portions 11 inclined inwardly towardthe lower ends thereof for the purpose of fitting snugly within the hubplate 12 of the band wheel 13. A suitable oil port 14 is formed in theoperating collar 9 for the purpose of permitting lubricant to pass intothe pocket 10 and the upper face of the bearing collar 9 is providedwith a plurality of circumferentially extending oil channels 15 for thepurpose of permitting oil to be maintained upon the upper face of thebearing collar 9. This bearing collar 9 is firmly held upon the standardor supporting shaft 7 by means of a retaining bolt 16 which retainingbolt 16 passes through a retaining washer 17 as shown in Fig. 2 of thedrawings. It should be understood that the bearing collar 9 is threadedupon the upper end 8 of the freely rotate upon supporting shaft 7 and isadapted to be held stationary after once placed in a set position andpermitting the hub portion 12 of the band wheel to freely and readilytate around the bearing collar 9.

The hub portion 12 ot the band wheel is "=rovided with a dependingcollar 18, which spending collar 18 is provided with a laterallyextending flange 19 through which flange 19 extends the securing bolts20, the securing bolts 20 extending through the securing disk 21 andbeing anchored their lower ends in engagement with the rotating collarThis rotating collar is adapted to rotate freely within th socketportion V i 1 e formed in the plate 2 in Fig. 2 of the drawing gortionis adapted to the purpose or" acili oi? the collar I provided with a v 2wnich laterally eXte ee rotation collar is ling M ge 2-1l overwhichrings are c 2 supported upont c p i The securing disk 21 carries ahitching ring which hitching ring" is provided with a circumferentiallyextending groo e 2'? formed upon the under face thereof for re ceivingthe upwardly extending rib 28 car ried by the securing disk 21. Thehitching ring 26 is also provided with a de lending flange 29 forfitting into the socket 550 formed in the securing ring 21. This hitching ring; 26 is held. upon the securing; ring 21 by means of overhangingangle plates 31. The or-erl ing angle plates 31 are secured to thesecuring ring 21 and attend over the edge of the h ching ring 26 asshown in detail in Fig. .i the plates 31 being firmly secured for Iagement with the disk 21 by means of securing bolts 32. shown clearly inFig. 5 of the drawings it will be seen that the securing disk 21 is madeas light as possible for producing a strong ant. ei' fectiye structurefor providing a plurality of spokes 33 upon the disk. It should befurther understood hat this securing disk 21 is eccentrically mountedupon its pivot point as shown in Fig. 5 of the drawing and with thehitching ring 26 is adapted to the securing ring 21 in order to producea reciprocating movement upon a securing hitch attached to the hitchingring 26 when the disk 21 is rotated due to the fact that the disk olcourse anchored in engagement with the band wheel 13 through the hubportion 12. ii plurality of hitching apertures 3% are arranged aroundthe periphery of the hitching ri 26 for the purpose or" permitting anysuitable or desired hitch to be secured to the periphery oi the disk atany angle radiating from the central axis of the apparatus.

ie hub portion 12- is provided with a plurality of radiating sockets 35upon the l m his undertace thereof within which sockets 35 it theradiating spokes 36 of the band wheel These spokes 36 are secured attheir outer ends to the segmental sockets 38 carried between the spacedangle plates 87 of the rim 39 of the band wheel. These segmentalclamping plates 37 are firmly held in engagement with the angle plates38 of the rim portion 39 by means of suitable bolts l0, the angle plates38 being in turn secured to the rim 39 by means of suitable securingbolts traniniel plate is sup-ported directly above the hub portion 12and this traininel plate comprises a body l2 which body a2 is pro i edwith a plurality of radiating arnis These radiating arms d3 are providedwith longitudinally citendinp; channels l4 within which channels a l areadapted to i -.vel the shoes l5. The traininel plate 42 is of courseanchored to the hub 12 of the band securing bolts as anccl by i'neans ofshown in 3 ot the drawings. The arms of the tranunel plate are providedwith laterally extending ears l7 to which ears 4:7 connected the anglebraces l8. The braces act as pre enti "e of possible broken rods 75dropping down and catching on yoke iolts i8 of casting 12. 7 Each of theshoes comprises an elongated central bar l9 which elongated central barl9 carries a plurality or transversely extending pins having" their endsseated. within the sockets 51 carried by the side rails 52 of the shoes.:ide rails are adapted to constitute taco against the side walls 53 oftoo track-ways Q4: and the side plates 52 are li .nly held against thesides of the elongated bar as by means of the end heads 5a. These endheads 5% are provided with a pair of (lore-tailed side portions 55,which are adapted to fit over the clove-tailed ends 56 or the siderails-52 and assist in holding the side rails against spreadingrelation. Bindinn screws 57 pass through the heads at and engage theends of the elongated bar $9 and firmly hold the heads in engagementwith this elongated bar. Additional binding screws or locking screws 58pass through the side rails and assist in holding the side rails 52 inengagement with the elongated bar d9. Each shoe is si nilarly.con

structed and it is thought unnecessary to go into detailed descriptionof each individual shoe. The elongate-d bar 49 of each shoe carries avertically extending cup portion 59 which adapted to contain lubricantand an inverted cup portion 60 is adapted to fit in the cup portion 59as shown in Fig. 2 the drawing. A drain plug, 61 is carried by the cupportion 59 near the bottom thereof for the purpose of permitting;lubricant to be drained there-from when it is so desired. verticallyextending pins 62 extend through the cup portion 59 and also through thecup 63 of the inverted cup portions 60 for the purpose of receivingsecuring nuts 64 and thereby firmly holding the inverted cup portions 60within the cup portions 59. The inverted cup portions 60 are providedwith integral top plates 65 which top plates 65 are provided withelongated apertures 66 formed in the sides thereof for the purpose ofreceiving the bolts 67 which secure the plates 65 in engagement with theanchoring bars 68 of the top hitch ring 69. In this manner the shoeswill be connected and secured to the reciprocating rod 70.

This reciprocating rod 70 passes under the anchoring plates 68 and isseated within the socket portions 71 formed in the top hitch ring 69being held thereon by means of the yoke bolts 72 as shown in Fig. 2 ofthe drawing. Suitable apertures 73 and 74 are formed in the top hitchdisk 69 for receiving a hitch rod 75.

The outer end of this reciprocating rod 7 O carries a roller bearing 76which roller bearing 76 is adapted to travel upon the side rails 77 ofthe outer support 78. This outer support 78 comprises a verticallyextending standard having an enlarged head 79 to which head 79 issecured the rails or tracks 77. The bearing 76 is provided with a socketportion 80 within which socket portion 80 fits the cup portion 81, thecup portion 81 being anchored in engagement with the reciprocating rod70 by means of the yoke rods 82. This cup portion 81 is also firmly heldin engagement withthe roller bearing 76 by means of the securing bolt83. A hitching cap 84: is secured to the outer end of this rod 70 andthis cap 84: is in turn connected to a suitable link 85 to permit thereciprocating rod 70 to be hitched or secured to any suitable orconvenient means, whereby power may be derived from the band wheel 13through the medium of the reciprocating rod 70. The cap 8 is firmlyclamped around the outer end of the rod 70 by means of the clampingbolts 86 and the hitch rod 85 is pivotally connected to this cap 84: bymeans of a pivot bolt 87.

By referring to Figs. 3 and 8 it will be seen that the arms 43 which areprovided with the track ways or sockets 44 are also provided withsuitable sockets 88 within which sockets fit the longitudinallyextending retaining plates 89. The retaining plates 89 overhang the siderails 52 of the shoes 45 and thereby retain the shoes against accidentaldisplacement from the track ways 4A. These plates 89 are firmly heldupon the arms 43 by means of suitable securing bolts 90.
